lol I make sure to have a bag when I don’t have pockets. Or I make sure that I will be in a location that has quick access to anything I would’ve put in my pocket. Sure, I’ll always remember the envy I felt as I watched Jared from 9th grade pull a Ti-84 and several pencils out of his pocket (I had pockets but they only fit my fingers up to the second knuckle… women’s fashion). But the only thing I really need near me at all times is my phone. I’m almost always either at home or wok, where I have a million nearby locations to put my phone. If I’m out, I have my purse or backpack. It’s very convenient to pull some spare ibuprofen from my pocket, but wearing those cute pocket-less pants for a whole day is worth the 60 second trip to get the pills from wherever I left them.
Wait, pocket-less pants are cuter? I'm suddenly tempted to start looking at girls' pants on the metro (except for the fact that will probably get me labeled as a perv...)
I wasn’t generalizing, I was thinking of a very specific pair of my pants that are super awesome and have no pockets. They are a forest print with leopards and monkeys.
